Kevin Magnussen has been banned for the next F1 race in Baku after colliding with Alpine’s Pierre Gasly at the Italian Grand Prix.
Kevin Magnussen has been banned for the next F1 race in Baku after colliding with Alpine’s Pierre Gasly at the Italian Grand Prix, which has put him over the limit of penalty points. Magnussen crossed the finish line in ninth but was given a 10-second time penalty, so dropped to 10th. However, he was also handed two penalty points, moving him onto 12 in total this season, which incurs a race ban. It is the first time a driver has fallen foul of this ruling since it was introduced in 2014.
The Dane was left frustrated, even before finding out about his ban, and wasn't keen to speak to the stewards. 'Usually it doesn't matter. It doesn't change anything,' he said. 'I have to go and speak to them. Too many times I speak to them and I still don't understand what the rules are. 'They don't want racing. That's what it seems to me. If this thing between me and Gasly can't be deemed a racing incident, I don't know what can.
